A California paper which was sent US
the other day by Mrs. Lewis Holloway
contained an article on Clovcrdale as
an orange growing place. 1t would
seem that the new home 10 which Mr..
and Mrs. Holloway have gone combines
all possible attractions of climate, soil
and situation, and that there are great
possibilities as an orange growing re-
gion In many yards now there are
beautiful trees full of the golden fruit,
and although attention has not yet
turned TO orange growing on a large
scale, it is prophesied that Cloverdale
will eventually become great orange
district. It must indeed be pleasant
change to go from a climate where
even apples grow, but grudgingly. and
be able to pick oranges in ones own
door yard
